Hi TanJent,

My top choice was still the Serenity from Savvy Rest, but it was about $1000 more the 10000 organic mattress from SleepEz. But, today, I found out that Savvy Rest has a 20% coupon in the Chinook Book. With that coupon, the price comes down to $2200 (+ tax +$30 delivery/setup/removal of old bed). Which I think makes it a good “value” for me. I like the idea of a Brick and Mortar location to work with and I’ve really liked both Dominic and his assistant, Travis.

The Savvy Rest Serenity certainly uses high quality materials and it’s good to see that you were able to find a discount that puts it in a little closer budget range to the other similar mattresses you were considering.

I was told that it was OK to use the box spring from my old bed, for now. But, I think I’ll purchase a platform bad in the next year. Do you agree with what they said, or should I get a foundation or platform bed now?

I don’t know the specifics of your box spring so I don’t know whether it would be suitable or not but if it’s an actual box spring (with springs inside it that flex under the mattress) rather than a foundation (that has no springs and has minimal or no flex under the mattress) then it may change the feel and performance of your mattress compared to the way you tested it in the store. There is more about the different types of support systems that are generally suitable for different types of mattresses in the foundation post here but the best choice for an all latex mattress is a slatted foundation or platform bed that provides an evenly supportive and non flexing support surface and that has slats that are no more than 3" apart.

I’m looking forward to finding out what you end up deciding once you actually pull the trigger
